Result of q Race.

On Thursday when the melting snow
made Custer avenue n scene OF SHINY
slush, two men, who had evidently inn
bibed something stronger than the in
SEPARATION induced by the advent of a
sunny day, were riding their bronchos
like mad up and down the avenue, each
of whom, for the time believing that he
sat astride the fastest horse west of the
rising sun. A race between The two
twenty dollar chargers was finally agreed
upon, one horse being staked against
the other. Bills Of sale were made out,
and placed in the shareholders hands a
copy of which WI here append.
Il hereby agree TO sell my horse"
The race came off and the tall but
degenerate son of an illustrious j. rse
doctor crossed the score a score or more
necks ahead, and claimed the vanguish-
ed steed. The owner ofthe slow cayuse
i%nterposed a sextuple objection in the
shape of portable gun of the period,
which either accidentally or purposely
was discharged, but fortunately without
effect. The gunner in this exciting
street drama. which might, under more
favorable conditions, have resulted in
a veritable tragedy, proceeded to the
Office of a justice of the peace, where he
confessed and contributed. The losing
winner Of the race was duly arrested
upon a charge involving the use Of a
brace Of DIS to express, was assessed in
the usual amount, which after unavoid-
able hesitation, he finally produced, and
again entered upon the enjoyment of
his personal liberty, ten dollars sadder,
if not a wiser man.

A letter from the office of the Mining
Record, New York, states that the suit
for SANDER, or something of the kind,
brought by the Big Bend company
against the editor Of the Record, will
shortly be moved for trial. 1t is to be
hoped that the Record has secured a
little Of the much available evidence
and will show up the iniQuity Of the
Big Bend scheme in all its ugly proper
tons. The letter states that the Big
Bend folks set up in their complaint
that all money paid ont as dividends
was received from Robert Ftorman,
lessee Of the mines" Thus far sos :
900 have paid out AS dividends, so the
company advertises. although no one
believes) and if such amount came from
Mr.. Flurman the question arises, where
did he get it? That the property claim
ed by the Big Bend company never
yielded that AMOUNT Of money, or any
tangible portion thereof, can be demon
strated beyond peradventnre or doubt.
Progress Of the case will be watched
with interest.-Deadwood Times.

The Rapid Republican, in referring to
the analysis Of the late J. IL. SINNERS
stomach, says:
"The chemical analysis Of the stomach
of the man who is supposed to have
been poisoned at Custer, is not yet com-
pleted. The examination is being con-
Quoted very carefully and skillfully and
requires some time. Prof. Davis saws

The deceased was not a resident Of
Custer; he resided at a point on the
Hot Springs road, IL miles southeast of
this place. Had the late Mr.. Skinner
been a resident of Custer, the suspicion
Of his having been poisoned would have
been of a more positive character, as the
fact Of no man having died in this place
for years, would very naturally have
suggested the belief that death on the
square was highly improbable.

Cascade Marble.

The thanks Of this office are due to
Mr.. w. +. Couzens Of this place for a
finely wrought Cascade marble paper
weight, with the name Of the paper
artistically engraved thereon. Mr..
Couzens is a practical stone cutter of
extensive experience in Australia, and
New Zealand, and latterly in Colorado,
and pronounces this peculiar character
of marble, found in massive bodies near
Cascade, in Fall River county, superior
in many respects to any he has ever
seen. He has secured, by location, a
large tract Of land bearing this attractive
variety Of marble, and by partial devel-
opment has determined that the guam
tity is practically inexhaustihle. 1t is
his purpose to engage in it's manufacture
into tomb stones, table tops, mantsls
and other articles in this city during the
present year. This stone is comparativ-
ely soft when first taken from the de-
post. being easily cut with q knife, but
hardens rapidly when exposed to the
air. 1t has a very fine grain, admits Of
4 high polish, and will bear an almost
unlimited pressure. 1t is ~variegated in
color, and exceedingly attractive, and
will, WI have no doubt, meet with ready
sale throughout the Hills, when fashion
ed into the articles above referred to.

Bon Aqua Springs, the Saratoga
ofthe South,

We are credibly informed that this
celebrated summer resort has opened
this year on June lst. to guests from
any part of the world. Bon Aqua
Springs is situated upon an elevated
Plateau nearly twelve hundred feet
above sea level. This altitude renders
the air delightfully."- pure and cool, so
invigorating TO people and so much
sought after by all classes during the
hot months Of June, July, August
and September. 1t is an ackmowl-
edged asylum for all suffering from
diseases or debilitated from the eff
fects of malaria or other disorders
The resort is situated in a beautiful
park of heavy shade trees of about
300 acres. Tho hotel is a fine build
ing 80 by 2i0 feet, with galleries
twelve feet around each floor, and
forming a promenade of nearly two
thousand feet. The ball room and
dining room are each 40 by so feet.
The CUISINE will be in charge of a
celebrated Chef and the tables with
capacity of 300 at one setting will be
furnished with every delicaoy the
country affords during the season. In
addition to the hotels capacity, there
are about one hundred cottages situ-
ated in the square in close proximity
TO the hotel, SO place can be secured
to suit the tastes of all classes either
public or private. One of the impor-
tant additions recently added is the
large bathing house arranged with
two general departments, one design
ed for Ladies only and the other for
Gentlemen.
In this building the various kinds
of mineral waters will be utilized in
the form of hot and cold bathing, un-
der the directions CT two Physicians,
lady and gentleman, one for each
of the respective departments.
One of the most important features
of this resort Is the value of the med
icinal qualities of its mineral waters.
No less than six different kinds of
waters issue from the earth within a
few feet of each other, including
black, white and red sulphur arsenic,
chalybcate and free-stone. These
waters are unlike many other miner
al waters and are in reality an excep-
ton to the general rule, for the reason
that they are cool and palatable aud
Immediately become the favorite of
guests for their delicious taste. Their
Medicinal qualities are known by
thousands of people, many of whom
have been permanently cured by
drinking these waters. Another
feature we must not overlook, and
that is the facilities for music and
amusements. A full band of brass
and string Instruments will be in at
tendance as well as pianos, &c. For
more physical exercises there are
boating, ton pin alley, billiards and
lawn tennis. Nothing seems to be
overlooked to make Bon Aqua Springs
just what II claims this season tho
"Saratoga ofihe South" If any of
our readers desire to have pamphlet
describing this resort, and a "Bird's
Eye View" of the premises, they can

of which clearly outlined against the

use of the waters. The new
chalybeate bursts from The

IA skin of beauty is a joy forever,
and those who try this water, exter-

find their compilations, rivaling in
beauty the skin of the far famed
